Best Time to go on the Everest View Trek 7 Days

Autumn months of September, October, and December are the best time to trek the Everest region. You will find clear weather with open skies and visible landscapes. Likewise, the Spring months of March, April, and May are another great time to explore the Everest region. You will find warm temperatures, with a cozy ambiance. However, the temperatures drop at night and can be a bit chilly.

December, January, and February are Winter months in Nepal. The Everest region is mostly covered in snow, with slippery landscapes. The conditions are frigid and the trails are prone to risks, therefore we don’t recommend trekking in the winter months. Nonetheless, if you travel to the Everest region during this time of the year, we advise you to carry warm clothes.

Similarly, monsoon falls in June, July, and August in Nepal. You can expect plenty of rain and snowfall. Despite the risky conditions, lush vegetation covers the Everest region. You will find a unique experience if you trek to the Everest region in monsoon.
